Enjoy the abundance of sunshine

Quincy

For more than a century, the Quincy Valley has been a land of opportunity for residents and visitors alike.

When the first settlers arrived in this land, they found it to be barren and harsh. However, as they spent time here, they soon discovered the subtle beauty of the land and how giving it was with a little bit of care.

Today, more than 12,000 people make the Quincy Valley their home, living and working in one of the fastest growing areas in the state.

Each year, hundreds of thou-

sands of people visit the valley, coming to enjoy concerts at the Gorge Amphitheatre; play on the dazzling waters of the Columbia

George has a well maintained park with a barbeque pit and covered seating area. Right next door is the George Community Hall, which can be rented out for events.

George celebrates the Fourth of July with a bang, starting off with the Cherry Bomb Run early on the morning of the Fourth. Following the race is the parade, featuring vintage vehicles from the Stars, Bars and Classic Cars show. After the parade, feel free to roam around and listen to live music or check out the many vendors in the park.

At the end of the day, there is nothing like watching the fireworks, which start just after dusk and end about 10:30 p.m.

The third week in September, George opens its park and outdoor stage to host the George Bluegrass Festival. It is nearly a full week of jamming and fellowship with bluegrass artists, fans and musicians of all kinds from all over. The event, which starts at the beginning of the week, ends with a weekend of some of your favorite bluegrass bands gracing the stage, and an outdoor country-style church service on Sunday morning. Bring your RV

and stay a while.

Crescent Bar

Island living Only 7 miles from Quincy, Crescent Bar is a manmade island that calls the Columbia River home. To the west, the island is surrounded by towering basalt cliffs. To the east is the Columbia River.

The island, owned by Grant PUD, was created in the early 1960s with the construction of the Priest Rapids Hydroelectric Project. The rising waters created by the hydroelectric project covered the lands along the river, creating the island.

Today, Crescent Bar is a 160-acre recreational community with two golf courses, a boat moorage, a trailer park and camping area, condo developments and retail shops and restaurants.

The Sand Trap Bar and Grill features live entertainment most Friday and Saturday nights during the summer. The Sunfire Grill is another popular choice for casual fine dining.

While some people call the island home year round, most people come in the summer to enjoy boating, swimming, golfing, tennis and just general fun in the sun.

A history of

Local winemaking

By Cameron Fries www.whiteheronwine.com Grapes and winemaking have been in the Quincy area longer than people realize. In Malaga, a few miles north of Quincy on the west side of the river, there was a vineyard and winery in the late 1800s which made, according to contemporary accounts, a sour white wine.

Old pictures of the brick house standing next to Chet’s Honda in Quincy show a small vineyard out front although the grapes were probably Concords and used for jelly and juice. There were pre-prohibition vineyards scattered throughout the state of Washington, but a failure to understand the unique needs of wine grapes and prohibition itself caused these to be abandoned.

Dr. Walter Clore began experimenting with wine grapes at the Prosser research station in the late 1960s, and the modern era of winemaking began. Most people thought that wine grapes should not be grown north of I-90; however, in the late 1970s, Vince and Carol Bryan began looking for a cooler spot to plant Pinot Noir. His search brought him to the Ancient Lakes Basin.

In 1980 he and his wife, Carol, began planting what would become Champs de Brionne Winery, now near the Gorge at George. At the same time Hunter Hill Winery planted near Othello and Wenatchee Valley Vintners planted in East Wenatchee. These early wineries were not necessarily successful as 16

they are now gone. But they showed the viability of grape growing in the Quincy area.

There are well over 2,000 acres of wine grapes in the Quincy Basin. In recognition of the unique qualities of this growing region, the federal government granted an American Viticultural Area (AVA), which is known as Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley. The name Ancient Lakes refers to the geological forces that shaped the region and can now be proudly displayed on our wine labels as a badge of quality and our own AVA.

The Champs de Brionne Winery closed, but the Bryans continued cultivating vineyards. Over the years their focus moved away from Pinot Noir, and they planted in warmer spots, growing Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon amongst other varieties.

In 2000, the Bryans opened a new winery and tasting room called Cave B that’s in the midst of their vineyard along Silica Road. In addition, they have constructed a destination resort and restaurant in their vineyards.

In 1990 White Heron Cellars planted its vineyard above Crescent Bar.

It grows Syrah, Roussanne, Malbec and various other varieties that can be tasted at the winery in its vineyard on Fine Wine Road Northwest. In 1996, Ryan Patrick Vineyards began planting its vineyards in several locations around the western half of the Quincy Basin.

Local vineyardist Butch Milbrandt is a large grower of wine grapes in the Ancient Lakes Basin. Milbrandt Farms has several hundred acres of grapes overlooking Evergreen Lake and on Evergreen Ridge as well as vines on the other side of Potholes Coulee, overlooking Ancient Lakes.

His newest planting is called the Spanish Castle Vineyard, which is half in the Ancient Lakes area. Milbrandt fruit is sold to various wineries throughout the state and bottled under the Milbrandt label.

Jones of Washington also has grapes near Quincy. Although it has vineyards on the Wahluke Slope, the center of the Jones’ farming operation is in Quincy.

Jones of Washington has planted extensive vineyards near Adams Road on the northeast side of the Basin. Its tasting room is on the western edge of Quincy on Highway 28.

Beaumont Cellars has been hand crafting sumptuous, award-winning wines in the midst of its orchards on the western edge of the Basin for several years now. Its wines can be tasted at its tasting room on White Trail Road. They have some plantings as of this writing.

Errant Cellars, the newest jewel in the crown of Ancient Lakes wineries has released wines from the 2011 vintage. Megan Couture believes in a low intervention style of winemaking, using choice grapes from throughout Washington state to stitch together handcrafted wines.

Fire & Ice

Stunning backdrop put in motion millions of years ago

A region formed first by fire and then later shaped by ice, the Columbia River Gorge today is a breathtaking and beautiful center stage to outdoor recreation in the Quincy Valley.

Millions of years ago, the lava that flowed over the Columbia Basin was only the first in a series of catastrophic events that came together to shape this area.

The lava flowed like an ocean over vast areas of eastern Washington, eastern Oregon and western Idaho, forming layers of rock hundreds of feet deep (in some places thousands of feet deep) and creating the lava plain known 20

as the Columbia Basin. Look closely at any basalt cliff and you’ll see the tell-tale signs of many lava flows in the basalt formations.

As the Northern Hemisphere cooled and the Ice Age crept in, the lava plain was carved by massive glacial floods that roared again and again from Montana to the mouth of the Columbia River some 18,000 to 21,000 years ago. The water at times reached 650 feet deep and moved as fast as 60 miles an hour, cutting paths through the basalts and creating what is now a flood-scarred plain.

Signs of the Ice Age and its giant floods can be seen all around the Columbia Basin in dramatic fashion. Large potholes carved by powerful whirlpools called kolks scar the land. Flood erratics, or misplaced boulders, looking out of place in the landscape, were ice-rafted to the area by the ice-laden flood waters. Giant Current Ripples created by the deep, fast moving water are visible from Crescent Bar, looking out toward the West Bar. The butte-and-basin topography left behind today is more than just scablands. It is a storybook laid out in front of us, telling the tale of how the unique area was formed.

But that story can be difficult to interpret if you don’t know what you are looking at. There are no visitor-friendly, interpretive signs, and the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail is still yet to be funded. Any local efforts to educate people about the area’s geology have been a grassroots project.

Ken Lacy of Crescent Bar, a member of the Ice Age Floods Institute’s Board of Directors, leads several local geology tours each year, educating people about the land around them. Lacy recently agreed to help visitors get started by pointing out a few flood-related landforms easily seen from the car: 1. The entrance to the spectacular Moses Coulee is in Douglas County, east of Crescent Bar. There at the entrance, thousands of years ago, was a massive earthen dam that created a lake that stretched into Wenatchee. However, when the Okanogan lobe of the ice sheet melted back to the north, releasing water from the glacial lake Columbia, these waters raced down the Columbia River, hitting the earthen dam and destroying it. Much of this earth was carried down river and now forms what is called the West Bar located across from Crescent Bar. Part of this earthen dam (look for the Popular trees at the mouth of Moses Coulee) still remains today, seen here from milepost 14 on Highway 28.

2. Located to the west of Rock Island, these massive boulders sitting in the Columbia River are easy for visitors to miss. They slid thousands of years ago down from the hills to the south in this photo.

Water from a temporary lake, water-soaked the clay, and eventually the overlying basalt slid down the 2014 • Discover Quincy

hillside and landed in the Columbia River.

These rocks are to be seen on Highway 28, at milepost 5 between Rock Island and East Wenatchee.

3. This photo of basalt rows was taken in the Moses Coulee; however, the photo is an example of the story that can be found in the basalt throughout the Columbia Basin.

Try to identify nine separate flows of lava in the photo by noting the nine different layers of basalt columns found in this cliff face.

This basalt is more than 15 million years old.

4. This plunge pool was formed thousands of years ago at the upper part of Potholes Coulee. Stand close to the edge of the cliff (not too close) and imagine flood waters 350 feet deep pouring out of the Quincy Basin toward the Columbia River, ripping away rock and scouring the land with amazing force. The powerful water dug out a giant pool that was over 375 feet deep where you are standing today. The waterfall started down next to the Columbia River. This waterfall retreated upstream, creating the 3.5-mile Potholes Coulee.

5. The basalt columns, commonly called The Feathers, are adjacent to the first parking and camping area found in Frenchman Coulee. The Feathers are a popular draw for rock climbers, who climb the pillars year around. Even if you don’t climb, take the opportunity to walk around them to really get a feel for their size and majesty.

The Feathers are off of I-90, at Exit 143.

Take the old Highway 10 down toward the Columbia River.

Trolling for kings The ultimate prize in sport fishing

By Brian Main The ultimate prize in sport fishing in the Pacific Northwest is the Pacific salmon.

Excitingly, the Columbia River is the fastest growing salmon fishery in the world.

With cooperation between the Native Americans, federal and state governments, and local power companies, the Pacific salmon runs up the Columbia River are at record levels.

I fish for Sockeye and Chinook salmon. The two main runs of fish begin in July with summer kings and Sockeye. The fall king run starts in September and runs to the end of the season in October.

Many of the same techniques used for catching salmon work well in the Columbia River as they do in saltwater or your favorite river.

I’m a boat fisherman with downriggers. I typically target Sockeye by using a 10-inch, Les Davis chrome and

prism dodger, a 15-inch leader and two 1/0 red hooks.

For bait, it’s all about red shrimp. Much of the time I see people using a whole shrimp tail. I do see some success with larger bait. I cut the bait down to the size of a pinky finger nail and put it on the tip of a rear hook.

Now the most important part – troll slow. If you think you’re going slow enough, go slower. Use these tips and you should have Sockeye on the grill.

The big prize is the mighty Chinook salmon. Nothing gets my heart pounding like a hook up with one of these hard-fighting beasts. The good news is not much changes for gear, same dodger. I catch my fair share of kings on my Sockeye gear; however, if you target kings, I have a couple different baits I use.

The first bait is the cut plug herring, just like saltwater fishing. I cut the herring at a fast spring and have had tremendous success. The seond is the Super Bait, available at Quincy Hardware & Lumber. Fill it with tuna fish (in oil) or add your favorite scent and go get ’em.

Make sure you are positive you are aware of the rules and regulations. Most of the time the Columbia’s current

regulations are listed on the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website (http://wdfw.wa.gov/weekender/). Rules change not only year to year but also between runs. Know what’s open, where it’s open, hatchery fish retention, hook rules and limits.

River conditions also change day to day. Grant PUD (www.grantpud.org) runs most of the launches and has intimate knowledge of the safety of the river and river flow. If a portion of the river is off limits, it’s not safe. On

the Columbia, be aware and be safe and catch some fish.

I could write an entire book on salmon fishing on the Columbia River, but that wouldn’t give you a reason to come talk fishing at my barber shop. Specific spots, shore fishing and other details are a haircut away.

Winchester Lake

The Winchester Lake Wildlife Area is located about 15 miles southeast of Quincy. From Interstate 90, take Dodson Road Exit No. 164, turning north onto Dodson Road and then west onto North Frontage Road. Proceed west on North Frontage Road about three miles to the south entrance of the wildlife area. The lake is a wide spot in the Winchester Waterway with 1,020 acres of water. It is home to several species of fish, including bass, rainbow trout, perch, sunfish and crappie. The area is also a great place for canoeing, kayaking and birdwatching, as it is home to many species of water fowl. Primitive parking areas are at the north and south ends of the wildlife area, and gravel boat launches are on the south and upper east sides of the lake.

Both areas require a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife vehicle access pass. See www.wdfw. wa.gov to learn about all of the regulations and restrictions before fishing any area.

The Gorge Outdoor amphitheater named one of the best in nation The Gorge Amphitheatre, a 20,000seat, premiere outdoor concert venue, annually attracts some of the world’s biggest musicians to the Quincy Valley.

And with them come thousands of fans who get to see a great show in a unique setting.

The Gorge Amphitheatre is known throughout the nation as one of the most scenic concert settings in the country. Concert-goers are able to enjoy a show from the lawn terrace seating area while watching the sun set behind the basalt cliffs and hills that line the Columbia River Gorge.

Located outside George, or about 10 miles northeast of Quincy, the Gorge’s summer concert season has drawn such big names as Maroon 5, Coldplay, Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, The Police and more. The 2014 summer season includes Bruno Mars, Linkin Park, Thirty Seconds to Mars and Aerosmith.

The Gorge also has popular festivals that can draw up to 27,000 people a day. Sasquatch! Music Festival, typically held on Memorial Day weekend, attracts an array of indie rock, alternative and hip hop performers.

In June, Summer Jam brings together 2014 • Discover Quincy

hip hop chart toppers. The Watershed Festival, typically held in August, is for country music lovers. And don’t forget a trio of Dave Matthews Band concerts, a Gorge tradition usually held on Labor Day weekend.

Concert-goers can camp at the Gorge’s adjacent campground, at Wildhorse Campground, or stay at a nearby hotel. Live Nation, which owns the Gorge, is making plans to expand its facilities and add more camping in the future.

Enjoy a city

Summer tour The Quincy Summer Bus Tours have grown from a unique idea from the city to a much looked forward to annual event.

The free bus tours started in 2007 with Quincy’s centennial celebration as a way to showcase the town and all that makes it prosperous. Because of the community’s enthusiastic response, the tours have stuck around and become a popular summer activity.

With the bus tours, the city hopes to give residents, both those who are new to the area and those who have lived here many years, an opportunity to learn more about these places they drive by every day, said Russ Harrington, director of the city’s recreation department.

In the past, the city has taken participants on crop tours and geology tours as well as tours of area businesses, an alpaca farm and a data center. The city will host about seven tour dates this year, with tours being spread out on Saturdays in June, July and August. Among the trips planned for the 2014 season were a geology tour and tours of the diatomaceous earth mine, a data center and the Nutrilite Botanical Concentrates plant at the new Amway building.

Tours start at 11 a.m. at the Reiman-Simmons House parking lot, where participants will load an 18-passenger city bus. Participants are encouraged to arrive by 10:30 a.m. to get a seat because seating is limited.

Tours are about three hours long. Tour-goers are asked to bring water and wear comfortable shoes. No food is allowed on the bus.

For a schedule of tours, visit www.qtownrec.us or call 509-787-3523, extension 251.

Celebrations Something for everyone

Quincy’s Farmer-Consumer Awareness Day, or FCAD as the locals call it, started in 1981 when local farmer Dennis Higashiyama was listening to the radio. He heard a story on the Paul Harvey Show that illustrated how farmers and consumers had drifted apart - leaving many people with little or no understanding about how food actually arrives on their grocery store shelves.

For farmers, FCAD is an opportunity to show off the fruits of their labor and demonstrate the tools and techniques that they use in their work.

For the public, it’s a great way to learn about where your groceries come from and to talk to the people who grow them for a living.

For more than three decades, the event has grown successfully with tours of area processing plants and farms, displays of farm equipment, informational and commodity booths, and a farmer’s market.

The celebration has been expanded to include the Grand Parade, the Farm to Market Fun Run, live entertainment, cook-offs, arts and crafts, a car show and booths that showcase locally grown delicacies.

Every second Saturday in September, Quincy celebrates Farmer-Consumer Awareness Day. For a month beforehand, the roads leading to town are decorated with signs showing local crops and products made with them. On the day of the celebration, floats created by local schools and farm equipment parade through town. Free agricultural and geology tours are offered, as well as a produce sale, tractor pull, Farm-to-Market fun run, and many other activities.

Sun and Water Much of the outdoor recreation in the Quincy Valley centers around water.

Along with providing life-giving water to the crops of the Quincy Valley, the Columbia River provides residents and visitors with bountiful recreational opportunities. The Grant PUD alone operates 19 recreation areas along the river.

And just above the river on the basalt landscape is the nearly 15,300acre Quincy Lakes Wildlife Area, a series of manmade irrigation lakes that invites visitors to spend time fishing, camping or hiking near Dusty, Evergreen, Burke, Quincy and Stan Coffin lakes.

A Discover Pass or vehicle access 38

cilities. To get to the lakes from Quincy, take Highway 281 south five miles to County Road 5 Northwest. Turn west and drive three miles to Road T Northwest. Turn south on that gravel road. Proceed south a half mile to the gate at the main entrance of the wildlife area.

The east side of the wildlife area can be accessed via Highway 281 from Road 3 Northwest.

Crescent Bar Resort Campground: accommodates both RVs and tents.

Amenities include showers, electric hookups, barbecue facilities, gas and sanitary disposal. Go to www. crescentbarresort.com.

Gorge Amphitheatre Campground, Wildhorse Campground, as well as a variety of camping options are available for visitors to the amphitheater. Go to www.tourgrantcounty.com.

Gingko/Wanapum State Park: near Vantage on the west bank of the Columbia River. Go to www.parks.

The Quincy Valley has hundreds of miles of trails for hiking or biking, many of which are open yearround. Some of the best hiking trails are found at the Quincy Lakes Wildlife Area, where trails cut through the same landscape that was formed by ancient floodwaters, which carved breathtaking vistas and valleys through basalt formations.

Another prime hiking place is on the Nature Conservancy’s property north of Quincy at the 4,788acre Beezley Hills Preserve. From its high vantage point, hikers can peer out at the expanse of eastern Washington. To reach Beezley Hills Preserve from Quincy, head east on Highway 28. Near the eastern edge of town, turn north on Columbia Way, which curves into Road P

N.W., also known as Monument Hill Road. Drive 7.1 miles and park next to the access road for a communications tower at the top of the hill. On the south side of the road, there is a gate into the Beezley Hills Preserve, marked with a small sign reading “Nature Preserve – Foot Traffic Only.”

The Frenchman Coulee near the Columbia River Gorge also offers picturesque hiking as well as rock climbing. And don’t forget to explore Quincy’s Ancient Lakes, a series of pothole lakes set in a basalt bowl of sheer cliffs. To get to the Ancient Lakes from Quincy, drive north on Highway 281. After 5.6 miles turn left onto White Trail Road. Continue 7.8 miles on White Trail Road, then turn left onto Road 9 N.W. Continue 5.9 miles on this road (pavement ends at 2 miles) as it winds steeply down onto Babcock Bench to the road’s end, where the Ancient Lakes parking lot is located.

Many of the trails are suitable for off-road bicycles. Road racers can enjoy cycling through the Quincy Valley’s variable farmland on the many paved county roads, or participate in the chamber’s annual Rock ‘n’ Ride event through George, held each year in late June.

Rock Climbing The Feathers near Vantage, amazing basalt columns formed millions of years ago, draw rock climbers year round. The feathers are off of I-90, at exit 143. Take the old Highway 10 down toward the Columbia River. The Feathers are adjacent to the first parking and camping area found in the Frenchman Coulee.

Wildlife and flora viewing The Quincy Lakes Wildlife Area and Winchester Lake Wildlife Area are important waterfowl breeding

grounds in Washington. Millions of birds use the area for resting and feeding. Both areas offer public hunting for game birds, including ducks, geese, chukar, partridge, quail and grouse.

Before hunting, be sure to check with the Department of Fish and Wildlife at www.wdfw.wa.gov to learn all the regulations and restrictions. Follow all posted signs and notices.

And for flora viewing, try the Beezley Hills Preserve near Quincy.

Beezley Hills is part of one of the largest intact tracts of shrub-steppe ecosystem in the state and one of the best wildflower spots in Eastern Washington. Spring time, from late April to mid-May, is prime time to visit when most of the wildflowers are blooming. It’s during these few weeks in spring when this sagebrush desert shows its best colors, too.

The raceway

Ephrata Raceway Park home to race cars and motocross The Ephrata Raceway Park, a quarter-mile paved racing oval, has been entertaining crowds for four decades.

Once the premiere quarter-mile track in the state when it opened in 1970, the racing oval today draws auto and motocross racers from throughout the region. Located at 14156 Road B.3 N.W., Ephrata, it remains a favorite hangout for local families and amateur racers.

Whether you enjoy motocross, street stocks, sprints or even 58

vintage racers, the track is big on entertainment for the whole family.

Watch for special events, such as the popular Spud Cup and Motocross under the Lights. And join in the extra fun, such as the meetand-greets with drivers after the races.

Many of the races are held on opposite weekends as those at the nearby Wenatchee Super Oval, located in East Wenatchee, to give racers a chance to compete at both venues. The Wenatchee Super Oval 2014 • Discover Quincy

is also a quarter-mile track.

Ephrata raceway has a full concessions stand. Devoted fans and racing newbies alike will enjoy spending a warm summer evening at the oval.

The racing season begins in early May and runs through September.

Gates open at 5 p.m., with racing starting at 7 p.m. For more information, including a complete race schedule and ticket prices, go to www.ephrataracewaypark.com. Or call 509-398-7110.
